Feel free to continue here! And I'd like to say (again) that DS9 has all of the professionalism of Picard and all of the action of Kirk...rolled into Avery Brooks*.
Those who fail to recognize DS9's superiority in this matter win the bronze. The bronze at life.
* - corrected based on the excusable grounds that I am retarded.

Re: Star Trek: The Olympic Series
Brooks, Avery is only slightly better than Lorne Greene's Adama and would be knocked. the fuck. out. by Edward Olmos's Adama, who is used to taking a beating and getting dirty.
This is a personal problem. There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable use of high explosives. This is not one of those exceptions.
Re: Star Trek: The Olympic Series
I'd put Sisko close to Olmos-Adama than Geene-Adama. Avery Brooks is a pretty good actor; I just haven't seen him in especially dramatic material.
Re: Star Trek: The Olympic Series
Yeah, I shoulda slagged Sisko, not Brooks.

Re: Star Trek: The Olympic Series
I'm pretty sure that Sandy was thinking more in terms of the character's ass kicking abilities rather than the actors' respective chops. Adama is a hard motherfracker.

Re: Star Trek: The Olympic Series
Of course, we're all missing the point that we should be arguing about.
Who would win a fight between a Shadow battlecrab and a Cylon base star?

Re: Star Trek: The Olympic Series
I'm always unimpressed, after having been a Trek nerd my whole life, with societies that do not have the technological chops to even produce shields for their ships. Freakin' shields, man!...you gotta have 'em!
In a one-on-one, I don't know anything about Olmos' Adama...but I do know that the ships in BSG are amateur hour compared to Starfleet's.
